so true dude. so, so true. there is real beauty to be heard but they'd rather cram down whatever shit will get people to gyrate to or bob their head to. it's a lame art world nowadays. and sadly i think it will get only more lame.
It's feels like computers have written all the popular songs for the last 10 years. Yeah I'm a geezer, but whether I liked or didn't like certain songs in the 60's and 70's, at least they were written by people with heart and emotions they wanted to convey. And they ACTUALLY KNEW HOW TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS.
All the best DOORS Tunes are not the ones you hear people asking for. The best songs on DOORS albums are the ones like these tunes the "B" sides and the ones that did not get airplay time.. This album really rocks. "THE SPY" "Waiting for the Sun" other albums have gems too... "Love Street" is a great tune.
i've noticed with a lot of bands most of the meat on the bone is off the beaten path. that's why I like doing the deep dives so I actually find out what the band is all about.
@@L33Reacts couldn't agree more - same with Joni Mitchell, everyone asks for Big Yellow Taxi or Both Sides Now - try Hejira, & almost anything from Hissing of Summer Lawns
The Doors didn't have a bass player but they had someone in studio play it, in concert Ray would play the bass parts with his left hand, keyboard parts with his right hand.
Do you think The Doors should have their own day? Until we go through their limited catalog? Let me know. I still haven't seen ANY live stuff from them either... so let me know down below and I will take it under consideration!
They have a live album, Absolutely Live. They do two covers on that album that are definitely worth doing. Gloria, and Who Do You Love. Absolutely must do. And yes, their own day. My favorite band.
I say in the video that I got these from the suggestions of some patrons and scanning the comments of previous videos... so you get a mini shout out! lol
The Doors were like a comet--they hit the scene out of no where, put out six albums in rapid succession over the next five years, and then they were gone. But what albums! My best friend of 50+ years passed away in December, he was a big Doors fan, and we were lucky enough to see the Doors play in Asbury Park in the summer of 1967.
How good were they live?… of all the great talent then, did the doors stand out among peers in music as unique and influential. Anyone you ever seen like morrison?
@@kelvinkloud Kevin, you've made me access the depths of my memory. I remember it as two separate shows--the band, and Morrison. Manzarek, Kreiger, and Dinsmore were sort of, "we're here to do a job, play our music." That they did with perfection, but they were not showmen in any sense, they let their playing do the talking. Of course, they did not need to be showmen because of...Jim. However, "showman" is not really the correct term for Jim, because it implies a personna that was contrived and and act that was planned and rehearsed, and I do not think he did either. (Or maybe he did both, but so well he fooled us all.) When Morrison was on stage it was like another being had entered his body, and you never knew what he would do, especially since it was no secret that he enjoyed his alcohol before shows. Back then so did I, and because the Asbury Park Convention Hall did not check concertgoers for contraband, my recollections of the second half of the show are dim. In short, the performance was more like "Jim Morrison accompanied by some fine musicians." One detail I still recall is that the version they did of "The End" was considerably longer than the album version, Jim inserted a lot of lyrics and imagery about the car accident and Indians strewn across the road that is referenced in "Peace Frog." The Doors and Morrison were unique.
@@curtadams7406 thx… wish I’d been there. 10 years too young, but big fan. It’s good to hear someone like u that was there. It seems the aura thing was real. He had a real sense of dramatic impact and evoking himself inside the song. It seems he had no peer, even in that great era. I think he actually gets short changed in how influential and talented he was. He was inconsistent, had demons w/ booze & his law issues & marketing hype obscure it seems how innovative talent he had.
@@kelvinkloud Danny Sugarman's 1980 book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" is a useful resource for exploring the Doors. Also the 1991 Movie "The Doors." with Val Kilmer doing a great job portraying Jim. Interestingly, the release of the movie caused a revival in interest in the Doors music, their songs were on the radio again for many months. Test to see how serious of a Doors fan you are--would you trade being ten years older if it meant you would have seen them perform? Thought not!
"Love Me Two Times", "People are Strange", "Riders on the Storm", "Hello, I Love You" and "Love Her Madly" are just a few of the tunes you should check out if you haven't already!
Idealy when listening to "Peace Frog" listen to " Blue Sunday" they go together like " Heartbreaker/Living loving maid" fr.LZ 2 like tea & toast,milk & honey feel me Bra?❤❤❤love ya Bra keep on keeping on I can dig it!!!
Love the channel. This is the music from my teenage years and the Doors were my favorite band. Nobody had the sound that they had and no one since comes close. If you want more of Robbie and Jim, please listen to ‘Spanish Caravan’. I think it’s from the ‘Waiting for the Sun’ album. You will hear Robbie’s flamenco chops and it’s outstanding. Also from that album is the track ‘Yes, The River Knows’ and this might be the most hauntingly beautiful song they ever recorded IMHO. Thanks again for listening and keeping his priceless music alive! Peace, brother.
Fantastic watching the younger generation embracing the older music namely 65-75 what a decade of incredible talent. Checkout 5-1 from the doors when you get a chance! ✌🏻
Your right L33, they may be short but they are both bangers. They put more in their short songs than a lot of bands put in there whole albums. Love you to react to one of my favs. "Land Ho"... it's a real banger . You'll love it !!!!!!
jan van impe if you like "indian summer" you should listen to other dreamy songs like: "end of the night"; "blue sunday", " i can't see your face in my mind" ," cars hiss by my window" (slow blues) and "unhappy girl" !!!!!!!!!!
I had not heard Indian summer before, What a vibe it delivers, especially with the sitar. Great choice Lee! Another fun and semi deep-dive song of theirs - Texas radio. And hell yeah, let’s have a Doors day!
exactly! that vibe is amazing. robbie's guitar and jim's crooning voice... what a mix. these guys were genius. i'm glad i was prescient enough to combine the two :)
You can explore the rest of the Album… And ‘The Soft Parade’ …’Do it’, ‘Shaman’s Blues’ ‘Waiting for the sun’ the Album!!! So… Difficult to choose the next songs Every Doors album is Special in it’s own way…
the soft parade is one i for sure want to revisit. i loved that song. sadly it was a botched audio video so it didn't really go anywhere, but i want to revisit that one.
Even w/ dated sound, equipt etc there is something that transcends era w/ doors. Eternal themes & perspective that visceral yet opaque… good point, one of the few bands who could deliver concise or long scape. Quality commercial hits but also cutting edge artistic material. Few could hold and deliver both plates. One of Americas 5 most important bands if your being honest and objective.
On he album, Peace frog merges into the next song seemlessly...a slow thing called blue summer....seperately, indian summer was one of the first songs jim wrote in 1965
Funky doors of perception, one of my favoritest songs. What a crazy mood change gear shift between the two songs. Indian Summer reminds me of the light/vibe at sunset on LA beaches.Very cool.
The Doors helped out Lonnie Mack letting him play bass on 2 tracks on this lp. SRV also helped out Lonnie a few years later recording his early 1960's hit "Wham", and performing with him.
jan van impe "hyacint house" where ray steals (very clever) a little pianomelody from Chopin pay attention to what jim is saying at the end of this song:"i need a brand new friend: the end ..."
You can't play Peace Frog without letting it run into Blue Sunday, that's why it ended so abruptly. Sorry I know you don't like comments like this. Sorry fellow Lee, you're still the best.
My favorite Doors tracks: People are strange, Five to one, Shaman's Blues and Do it. And just for the fun of it, listen to the post Jim Morrison song "Mosquito".
My Wild Love from Waiting for the Sun is surprizingly original. I don't believe it uses any conventional instrumentation. It's short, so you might want to add Unkown Soldier to get a better grasp of how they used any colors they could find to paint the background to fit Jim's poetry. Truly unique tunes. Keep up the good work!
THE SPY might be my favorite Doors song, it and MAGGIE M'GILL are on this album, MORRISON HOTEL, LA WOMAN and WAITING FOR THE SUN are my favorite Doors albums. 'GILL are on this album
1) There's some question about the details of the infamous car accident. Jim's father, Admiral Steve Morrison, recounted that they came across the accident on the highway, but that there weren't bodies strewn across the road. There were some people hurt but no one dead, and when Admiral Morrison asked if they needed help, he was told that help was on the way, so the Morrison family carried on with their trip. I suspect that Jim may have blown up the incident in his mind, or purposely exaggerated the incident as part of his persona. He was known for coming up with wild tales when he was growing up, eg. asking his teacher for permission to take a day off because he was going to have surgery for a brain tumour. 2) Indian Summer is actually an out-take from the sessions for the first Doors album. It was left off because of lack of space and time on the vinyl record (an early version of Moonlight Drive was also left off). The band dug it out for Morrison Hotel, and Jim recorded a new vocal, but the instrumental track is from the first album sessions.
I think it's energy/vibration, some people are out of synch with their soul frequency. I have no idea how to phrase my thought more clearly, shit. Oh well, it happens.
dude.... you know that your " back by popular demand" it's just your own popular demand..lol (but hey it's mine, too so-it's all good LOL) I actually have a little peace frog sticker on my car!
jan van impe the doors made 2 more albums after jim died. one song,in particular, is very interesting : "SHIPS W/SAILS" it's very long and has the same structure as "riders on the storm". But !!! : the melody is far more beautiful . Unfortunately, it's not jim singing, but Ray, and when the song goes to a climax, he really destroys it,because he can't scream like jim. If jim had sung this song, i honestly think it would hav been their best song !!!. So sad....
Well, actually yes, I can live here forever, because I’m 54, so anyone under 30 cannot live here forever or mid 30s. What are you gonna do next? I mean after this channel? It is a fair question. I’ve had three or four of my channels retire over the years. Or evolve.
Do you have another Doors track you think I'd like? If you have a suggestion, leave it here.
Waiting for the sun, not the album, the song is on Morrison Hotel.
Land Ho!,Running Blue,Wild Child. Queen of the highway!
Another thought, Shaman's Blues
You should read the book “no one here gets out alive “. It’s a must for any doors fan
Gloria!!
Sometimes I feel really sad for the people who listen to the crap on the radio without even knowing that a song like Indian Summer exists.
so true dude. so, so true. there is real beauty to be heard but they'd rather cram down whatever shit will get people to gyrate to or bob their head to. it's a lame art world nowadays. and sadly i think it will get only more lame.

Dude.............. Jim sings my name Dan Reed @ 2:51 Jim sings instead of 'She played', he changes it to Dan Reed I think I am his son
I don't remember Peace Frog ending so abruptly, although it's years since I heard it.
You're right. It actually flows into Blue Sunday. They're attached
@@alrivers2297 Thanks!
"Five to One" and "Unknown Soldier "... 2 great doors songs!
I'm someone who suggested Peacefrog, so thanks!!
It's one of the best bass grooves ever...

When Morrison Hotel came out we knew the Doors were back.

You will find outstanding slide guitar parts by Robbie on Moonlight Drive (Strange Days LP) and Who Do You Love (live) from
Absolutely Live LP.
BLOOD IS THE ROSE OF MYSTERIOUS UNION.
The openig guitar on Peace Frog, one of the most recognizable openings on any song
When Smells Like Teen Spirit first came out I would always think, for just a split second, that it was Peace Frog coming on the radio and get excited.

😂 I'm glad you changed the title, I saw it earlier and it said Indian Sunset. 🤣👌

Some great songs to listen to are The Changeling, Been Down So Long, and The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat).
Sorry L33, it’s ‘Indian Summer’
… two other fantastic choices!!
woops, i was thinking that elton john track i guess! still both great tracks lol thank you
if you are really getting into the Doors then check out the movie The Doors staring Val Kilmore
One of my favorite songs of the Doors, post Jim, is the Mosquito
they kept going?? or was it a posthumous release?
The Doors recorded two more albums after Jim Morrison died, they split up two years later.
Like I said, Morrison Hotel is their best album.
